WAYNESBORO — Official write-in results for last Tuesday’s municipal election have not yet been finalized.

Earlier this week the Franklin County Commissioners Office released the official count of write-in votes by precinct. This list includes every name and variation of names written by voters on election day, including a few votes for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

The candidates have until 4:30 p.m. Monday, Nov. 18, to request that each variation of their name be counted toward their election.

For example, Billie Finn, Billiey Finn and Billy Finn all received write-votes to represent the Borough of Waynesboro on the Waynesboro Area School Board.

Finn initially did not run to retain her seat, but then launched a write-in campaign. It appears Finn will return to the school board. A count of all variations for both Finn and the other write-in candidate, Chad Rooney, has Finn with 336 votes and Rooney with only 304.

If all of the misspellings are removed, Finn still beats Rooney with 315 votes.
